Teenage Driving

The problem with teen drivers, there’re not experience enough. Because of the many horrible crashes that have accrued recently on the highways. We will take a look at the parents who purchase these vehicles, the young individuals that are overly zealous to get behind the wheel of a car. Then consumption of alcohol better known as binge drinking, I call it “chug ah lug “three deadly combinations, teens, high speeds an alcohol. In addition my own personal encounter as a teenager with all of the above statements.
Nearly all adolescents can’t wait to get their first ride. Like the parents , somewhat excited to buy it because of honors, graduations, or turning 18 years old, maybe just finantualy well off. Nine out of ten I’m sure they have gotten a lecture about not driving fast, if you’re going to drink don’t drive, have a designated driver etc. One of the failures of the mom and dad is, they pretty much kind of refuse to believe that all the direction they have given to their child, go’s out the window.
Soon as jimmy or Susan get behind the wheel with them two hot hands in the 2 o’clock position and that big heavy right foot on the gas pedal it’s over. Meanwhile looking in the rear view mirror to make sure that their house and guardians are clear out of site, in their mind it’s party time. Consequently as a result of their disobedience they head over where friends are drinking getting intoxicated, becoming more forgetful and defiant , admiring their new ride, gets back in the car with friends who’s curious to see how fast can it go, with very little driving history makes the “ Ultimate bad decision “. Not knowing the home they so eagerly left from, that some will never see again.
I am one of the blessed ones, or you can call it lucky. When I was 17 I remember the first time getting behind the wheel of a car I told myself I could drive, knowing I never did. I had the nerve to go to a used car dealership with a buddy of mine who never seen me drive before, but came along anyway and got in the car with me being behind the wheel, the car salesman on the passenger side my buddy in the back seat. How you like them apples! me and my buddy had already been drinking , the salesman looked over at me very skeptical ,I could see the fright in his eyes, he said “Can you Drive” I said yes, so I crank the car up and had to be told to put it in drive. Not knowing how sensitive the gas was, immediately pushed the pedal to the floor, I got about a mile before I lost control knock over someone’s mailbox and ended up in a ditch. The salesman look went from fright to frantic but luckily no one was hurt.
From this we see a teenager can’t be 100% trusted behind the wheel of car, no matter how responsible a grownup thinks they are the adolescent is not skilled enough nor is mental strong enough to shun peer pressure when it comes to driving.
